Research, perspective thereon

This is frustrating, but it's a large part of why they're paying me.

It seems that I hit one really useful item, followed by a bunch that are either not actually relevant (despite the keywords being there) or too brief to be useful. So, I record the one, and go on to the next batch--my job, in this case, is to be a filtering mechanism, to spend an afternoon so the client can spend 20 minutes or an hour and look at only relevant material.

[No, I don't have, or want, a piece of fairy cake.]

You know what a fairy cake is?

It's a cakeling where you slice off the top and cut the slice in half, and set the two halves of the slice upright on the cake again, rooted by icing or jam, so they look a little like wings.

So you could have one really easily if you wanted one.
